Please? I’ve never understood why we couldn’t have Worgen or Goblin monks to begin with. It doesn’t seem like it’d be outrageous to say a Pandaren washed ashore or sailed into Gilneas or Kezan and started teaching a sect of people how to use monk abilities. Every other race and allied race can be monks (except…LF for some reason), heck, even Mechagnomes can be monks. Monk just seems like a class that should not be limited, much like Warrior.
But with the new universal starting area, I think there is even less excuse to not allow Worgen and Goblin monks. They’ve been in contact with Pandaren for a few expansions now even outside their own starting zones. It’s about time they caught up to the Vulpera, Highmountain Tauren, and Nightborne who picked up in an expansion or less what Goblin and Worgen have not been able to do for a few expansions now.
If undead, who have no chi, can be monks, then worgen and goblins should certainly be able to be monks. Heck, our class mount even talks about the time he swam to Kezan with Grandmaster Rochu; we KNOW monks and goblins had contact pre-MoP!
Personally, if monks were unlocked for Worgen I would be rerolling to one immediately. I think now would be the best time to allow it considering that the first time a player goes to create a character, they are automatically directed to Exile’s Reach. Since this new tutorial zone is in the present day, it would obviously eliminate any issues with Gilneas and Kezan being stuck in Cataclysm’s time.
I’d also like to point out that most if not all monk animations seem to function fine with the races, and it’s been this way for some time.
Gonna voice my support for Worgen and Goblin Monks! There’s no lore reason to stop them from being playable now, especially with this new starter zone that all new players will have to go through
I don’t see why not, especially with the new player starting experience in Shadowlands. Your worgen/goblin could have been one who became an adventurer after leaving Gilneas/Kezzan, learned how to be a monk, and was recruited for the expedition that ended up on the island.
Yep I agree there is no logical reason these two races can’t be monks…
If a Tauren can throw a spinning back kick and do backflips ect then I don’t see why Worgen cant and goblins well who doesn’t wanna play there own version of Yoda
Maybe its that the Worgen are too proud to learn martial arts moves based on a tiger and the whole cats vs dogs thing
But seriously Blizzard give this to your players it causes no harm to anyone by doing this.
If I could get a Worgen Monk, Shaman, or Paladin I would race change immediately. I think all 3 would make sense but I’d settle for any one of them. Just take my money already Blizzard!!
The original reason they couldn’t be Monks was because they didn’t want to add new class trainers to the starting zones, and the class trainers were interwoven into both the Gilneas/Kezan storylines.
Now that Goblin/Worgen will start on Exile’s Reach like every other race, there is no reason why they cannot be Monks!
Please add worgen/goblin monks. My monk is a tauren but I’d KILL to play a goblin monk, as my monk is going to be what I main in Shadowlands. With Exiles Reach coming I don’t see a reason to gate them any further. It could even bring more people to the monk class if they could play those races.
Please that would be amazing! At this point I don’t believe there are any logical reasons (or lore reasons) that they can’t be?
It used to be said that it was because they couldn’t reach inner harmony…that never made sense because the worgen starting area is ALL about finding that inner balance (getting the scythe, drinking the waters). But even if that were somehow still an arguement…void elves and mechagnome monks make absolutely no sense then.
Others say it was the starting zone restrictions…but with Exile’s Reach freeing up whole new sub-races/clans that had that SAME restriction (wildhammer dwarves/forest trails/sandfury trolls)…there is no reason worgen/goblin monks couldn’t START in Exile’s Reach.
I would love my worgen monk to become a reality. Please Blizzard, think about it!
i swear they need to do this. abosulutely ZERO excuse as to why all current races with the new starting zone why there cant be monks.
and you can bet your sweet fuzzy worgen booty ill be race changing my monk to worgen if this happens. c’mon blizz you stand to make 25$ of this… YOU MAKE MONEY OFF OF THIS if thats not incentive enough i dont know what would honestly get you to do it… just saying…
